Something I am reminded of time and again - there are days where simply listening to the rabbits eat their hay in the morning is more meaningful than the rest of the day.Toirdhealbheach Beucailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872794169534403463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14404262.post-77507632628649804362020-11-19T17:07:41.445-08:002020-11-19T17:07:41.445-08:00Joy in the little things.

Survival ...sbrgirl - Thank you for the compliment!<br /><br />Survival literature, in my experience anyway, is often either "Gritty realism" or overt anger/fear. Those would play a role, I suppose - but I suspect that there is a sense of loss when a civilization fails and you exist after the fact. One wonders what the average Byzantine of 1454 or Anglo-Saxon of 1067 or Chinese citizen in 1912 felt. The same location, the same items, in some cases the same actors - yet everything would be different.Toirdhealbheach Beucailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14872794169534403463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14404262.post-51560526124875403022020-11-19T15:48:19.745-08:002020-11-19T15:48:19.745-08:00Ed, if you want a hoot look up Wren Day.

But based upon this letter, I googled it and found out it is a much older term than I had imagined and meant something totally different.
